MODERATORS
They are. The games industry is releasing a lot of hits in recent times, and there's a lot of money flowing in. Just not as much as covid times and interest rates are high.
This has nothing to so with the actual industry and the people making games.
A fair point, but I do want to highlight that we've had plenty of companies like Bethesda releasing crap like Starfield, using tactics that specifically turned on their artist employees, and then scratching their heads on why it didn't sell as well as Skyrim or Doom. I'm also seeing a lot of C-class laziness here.
